Default car won't start after 4 days

When ever I park my car for a long period of time it doesn't want to start. It will sit for like 3-4 days and not want to start. I always have to get a jump or push start it. I have a new battery and alternator, don't know what else it could be. I go to start it and the lights get real dim and thats all. Maybe my starter took a crap.

You probably have an electrical accesory somewhere that is draining current even when you turn the car off. Another possibility is a bad ground. If the starter makes a clicking sound when you try to crank over the engine then it could be a bad armature on the starter meaning it will need to be rebuilt or replaced. Check all of your groundwires and if you have an ammeter use it to determine if your car is drawing current when you turn it off.

how bout bad gas.?
nowadays, the quality of gas is depriciated.
I notice that their octane does not stay around very long if the car isnt driven daily.
but then again, it could be an electrical problem.
those are just my 2 cents
